IN 1942 young soldier Arthur Dodd was taken prisoner by the German Army and transported to Auschwitz: a name now synonymous with man's darkest hours.
This most infamous German death-camp of the Second World War functioned for the extermination of those the Third Reich deemed "undesirables".
What is less well-known is that it was the fate of hundreds of British POWs to be imprisoned there and to see, first hand, the atrocities meted out by Hitler's SS.
This book tells Arthur's story as one of the few eyewitnesses who survived that hell on earth.
